Re: help me reduce wasted space 12Nov 04, 2009 12:10 am danrts 1. is the island bench of 3.6m x 0.9m too long for a 4.6m long kitchen? 2. an entrance hallwa of 2260mm down to 1000mm - that's a bit too exaggerted I suspect 3. would you increase the space in front of the kitchen island bench (currenly 2600) and make the alfresco area smaller than 5600 x 5000 - say 5600 x 4500 or even 5600 x 4000? 4. would you shift the left wall of the living area so it lines up with the island bench/kitchen or lines up with the walk in pantry? Looking good danrts! I love the amount of storage you've got - you can never have enough. My thoughts on the above: 1. I don't think the island bench is too long, the more bench space the better. It looks nice and balanced at the moment. And it is nice and close to the pantry. 2. Maybe open up the entrance hallway by pushing the 1000 wide part back into the garage. It does seem like it might be a bit narrow the way it is. 3. I think the space in front of the kitchen is an ok width. I don't think it should be wider as it only seems to be a 'walkway' between rooms and I guess to allow space for stools at the kitchen bench? The area is better used in the outdoor area 4. As for the living room, I probably wouldn't make it smaller. Maybe work out where your furniture would go in the room and if it would comfortably fit in there. This might determine the size of your room in the end. 6 11528 You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want.
